VR recreation Name Of The Mountain was already introduced a number of months in the past, however now rumours have arisen of a PlayStation 5 remake, a multiplayer spin-off, and new DLC for Forbidden West.
There’s some uncertainty as as to whether it’s a remake or remaster, however the method is straight away paying homage to how Sony has dealt with The Final Of Us, who’s first recreation additionally simply obtained a PlayStation 5 remake regardless of not likely needing it.
The phrases remake and remaster are sometimes used interchangeably, even by some publishers, regardless of them being completely various things.
